I got this email from Jim Dean at Democracy for America:

I know the election is a ways off, but Jocelyn Benson is a candidate who deserves our support early. Jocelyn has dedicated her life to protecting people's right to vote -- working election protection for Democrats across the country, testifying before Congress and more.This is exactly the sort of experience and dedication that Michigan needs in the Secretary of State's office and Jocelyn is a common sense reformer ready to make Michigan a national leader in election administration.That's why I'm proud to announce Democracy for America's endorsement of Jocelyn Benson for Michigan Secretary of State.

This news isn't on the DFA website quite yet, although you can RSVP for the April 24-25 DFA Training Academy in Jackson (hint, hint).
